Swallow Falls
Swallow Falls Review
Betws-y-Coed is bordered by Gwydyr Forest, which has several well-marked walking trails. The forest also contains a half dozen or so mines, the last of which was abandoned in the 1940s. On the western approach to the village you'll find Swallow Falls, where the River Llugwy tumbles down through a wooded chasm. Be careful on the footpath, because there's no guardrail.
- Address: Off A5, Betws-y-Coed, LL24 0AH.
- Location: Betws-y-Coed
